How to unlock the Field Researcher achievement in Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling - Definitive Guide
For this achievement you have to use the spy in battle on every enemy in the game. Once you spy on an enemy it'll show their health below them in all future battles. I used that as an indicator on which enemies I have added to the bestiary. You can use the spy specs medal(obtained by defeating 3 mini bosses or 6 bosses in boss rush mode at the B.O.S.S machine in hive kingdom) as it won't use up a turn when you spy and it will also show the health of each enemy regardless if you have it in your bestiary. I didn't use it since it's harder to tell which ones you haven't spied on yet.
Don't worry if you miss a few enemies, you can use berries to fill in what you missed from a bug in the Underground Tavern as long as you have encountered them at least once in battle. It's 19 berries for regular enemies and 49 for bosses/mini bosses. So as long as you keep enough berries in the bank by the end of the game you should have accrued enough interest to buy out the entire bestiary. But it would be wiser to save those berries for the cooking maestro achievement.
Below I will list each enemy in order as shown in the bestiary along with where you can find them.
